Li Mo and his party hurried home to eat after returning to the village, but Li Mo and Xinghua were not too hungry.

The family members were all out chatting and playing, Li Mo and Xinghua had nothing to do and went to talk to Taohua.

When Xinghua came to Taohua's house, she shouted in the courtyard: "Sister Taohua, are you at home? Me and Momo are here."

Aunt Zheng's voice came from the main room, and she said, "Apricot Blossom, you are here? Come in, Peach Blossom is in the room."

Xinghua walked in with a smile on her face and said, "Auntie, you didn't go out and chat, I thought my sister was at home alone."

"The family has gone out, and your brother-in-law is worried that your sister will let me stay at home."

"Brother-in-law is too nervous, let's go out to play, my auntie."

Aunt Zheng also watched Xinghua grow up and didn't see it. She smiled and said: "Then you and Momo go to the room to find peach blossoms, I'm leaving."

Li Mo and Xinghua came to Taohua's room. Li Mo knocked on the door and said, "Sister Taohua, Xinghua and I have come to you."

Xinghua has never knocked on the door before, and the countryside is not happy. She shouted: "Sister, we are here."

Peach Blossom was doing needlework in the room, and when she heard the voice, she said quickly: "Come in, the door will open as soon as you push it."

Xinghua opened the door and strode in, Li Mo followed behind and walked slowly.

Taohua put the needle and thread aside and asked, "You are back from town, what did you buy?"

Li Mo walked slowly to the Kang and sat down, listening to apricot blossoms.

Said: "There are so many things in the department store in town, and I just need tickets. We saw a very beautiful pattern, right Momo."

To tell the truth, Li Mo doesn't like it, but this is the aesthetics of this era. So she said: "It's pretty, and it's good for children."

Xinghua continued: "Also, a lot of new bicycles have arrived, but they are beautiful. There are even bicycles that do not require tickets."

Peach Blossom asked without a ticket, "No ticket? I haven't heard of it before, how much is it?"

Seeing her sister's interest, Xinghua immediately said, "Three hundred yuan."

Taohua lost interest when she heard that she said: "Three hundred? You read it right, it's so expensive."

Seeing her sister, Xinghua hurriedly said: "Sister, you don't need a ticket. It's so good to buy it. Who knows if there will be no tickets in the future."

Taohua felt that it was too expensive to buy without a ticket, so she said: "This is too expensive, I would rather not."

Xinghua said: "Sister, don't do that. How about I buy one?"

Taohua glanced at her in surprise and said, "No, is your child rich or something?"

Xinghua pleased her with a smile: "Speaking of money, please lend me a little sister."

Taohua said: "Even if I borrow two hundred, you are not enough. I know exactly how much you have saved since childhood."

"That sister, do you lend me two hundred?"

"Do you want to borrow the remaining money from Momo?" Peach Blossom glanced at Li Mo, and Li Mo smiled and nodded slightly to Peach Blossom.

Taohua looked at it and said to Xinghua: "Don't even think about it, I don't borrow money, nor Momo's money."

He turned his head and said to Li Mo: "Momo don't lend money to this girl, see if she can do it."

Li Mo smiled at Peach Blossom again, and shrugged at Xing Hua: "Xing Hua, Sister Tao Hua has already spoken out. You have to convince Sister Tao Hua if you want me to help."

In fact, Li Mo doesn't agree with Xinghua buying bicycles, but Xinghua likes to think too much and Li Mo doesn't say too much.

Knowing that no one would agree, this is not the first to object to Taohua, there are still a group of adults in the family.

Three hundred yuan is not a decimal. What's more, Xinghua can't make any money at home, so why should it exceed the burden to buy it?

Xinghua was already a little upset, she said to Taohua: "Sister, why can't I buy a bicycle?"

Peach Blossom was not used to her and said directly: "Are you rich? Do you borrow it and repay it? Did you buy it and use it?"

Hearing this, Xinghua's hair exploded, and she said: "I don't have any money now, and I will pay you back after you lend it to me. You know that you all look down on me, and Li Mo even don't want to borrow money from me. It's all yours. Excuse."

Taohua didn't want to fight with her, so she said: "It's impossible to buy a bicycle without knowing it, so you go and talk to the milk first. If she agrees, we will borrow the money, otherwise we won't say anything."

Li Mo looked at Xinghua and didn't say anything. At this moment, she said nothing was right. Let Xinghua and the old lady discuss this issue, as they can't handle this matter for juniors.

Xinghua glanced at Taohua and Li Mo and said, "How do you know that milk won't agree? I'll talk about it tonight."

Taohua said: "As long as the milk agrees, we don't have to say anything, we will lend it to you if we are short of money."

Hearing what Tao Hua said, Xing Hua looked at Li Mo again, and Li Mo followed: "I said it before, as long as you have a reason to convince milk. Have you figured out the reason?"

Xinghua suddenly became discouraged. Why should I think about this?

"Momo, you can also think about it, I can't think of it."

Li Mo really didn't bother to think about this problem, and didn't want to comfort her, so he blinked at Peach Blossom and said, "This reason is not easy to find, let's think about it together."

Peach Blossom received the signal and went on to say: "It's not easy to persuade the milk. You have to have a reason you can't refuse. Xinghua, let's think about it."

Then the three of them were quiet, Xinghua lowered her head and thought carefully. Li Mo and Tao Hua began to wink at each other and move their lips.

"Sister Taohua, what can I do? She has made up her mind. She must be angry at night."

"Don't talk at night and ignore her."

Li Mo looked embarrassed and said: "She said she asked me to help intercede, how can I intercede? I didn't know how to persuade her when I was there today, so I said that I will borrow some of her when she comes back, and who knows she will come back. Borrow it with you."

"Don't pay attention to her, since you were a kid, you have liked to be a demon. When you go back, don't talk without asking your opinion. Xinghua didn't expect a good reason to give you and don't persuade you."

"Know it."

Until the brother-in-law's family would come, Li Mo and Xinghua didn't think of a good idea when they were about to leave.

Taohua asked, "Xinghua, do you think of a reason? You are going back to eat soon."

Xinghua said: "Not yet, Momo, should you watch and persuade me at night?"

Li Mo smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, you guys said, if I can plug in, I will try my best."

"Well then, let's go back."

After Li Mo and Taohua waved to leave, they went back with Xinghua. Wang Ailan and several daughter-in-laws were already cooking at home.

Li Mo entered the house and quickly said, "I will help wash the vegetables with milk."

Wang Ailan handed her the basin and said, "Go."

Seeing Li Mo leaving Xinghua alone, he knew that Wang Ailan couldn't make sense, so he didn't mention it.

Just after dinner in the evening, everyone was there, Xinghua immediately released the news.

"Milk, I went to town to see today. There are many new things in the department store."

Wang Ailan said cooperatively: "Oh? Did you buy anything?"

Xinghua hurriedly said: "I saw a bicycle and didn't want a ticket."

When I heard that no ticket was required, several people were very interested. Uncle Li asked, "You see clearly that you really don't want a ticket? How much is it?"

When Xinghua heard that she had a door, she said again: "No tickets are required for a three-hundred yuan car."

Wang Ailan glanced at Xinghua and said, "Three hundred? It's too expensive. Why buy a bicycle if we have a bicycle."

Several other people also nodded in agreement with Wang Ailan.

Xinghua said unwillingly: "Milk, I want to buy a lady's bicycle."

"We don't have so much money at home, and the little money we keep has to be used by you guys for marriage."

"I don't want money from the house, so let me buy one."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erbo thought his daughter had done something bad. He said sternly, "Xinghua, where did you get so much money."

Xinghua was a little afraid of her father, so she said weakly: "Father, I don't have that much money, but Sister Taohua and Momo agreed to lend me."

As soon as Wang Ailan heard it, she probably knew what was going on. She believed that Li Mo borrowed money for the sake of face, but Taohua would never agree to it.

Maybe Xinghua was too stubborn, and Taohua asked her to come back and talk to herself.

Liu Zhishu was also a little angry. It was a headache for a child of this age to think of borrowing this old man to buy a bicycle.

"Don't talk about borrowing money. Your grandfather has never borrowed money in my life. If you dare to borrow a penny, I will break your leg."

"Grandpa, Sister Taohua and Momo are not outsiders."

"No matter who you are, you are not allowed to borrow. I put the words here today. You can buy a car if you can earn 300 yuan, and we don't want you."

As soon as Party Secretary Liu spoke, no one at home dared to persuade him, and of course no one wanted to persuade him on this matter.

Finally, Wang Ailan said, "Clean up the table, and wash it up. That's it. You are not allowed to borrow money for Xinghua, and you are not allowed to borrow money for Momo."

Li Mo didn't speak either, Xinghua thought a little strange. If Li Mo agrees, maybe Xinghua hates Li Mo.

Li Mo didn't want to live here. The atmosphere was too embarrassing today. It's not too late now, so let's go back soon.

"Grandma, I'm going back first, and I'll come back tomorrow."

Wang Ailan wanted to keep Li Mo, but turned to see Xinghua and agreed.

"You go back, don't forget to burn the kang."

Li Mo was really relieved when he was out of the Liu family, this kind of thing shouldn't be a problem.

On the eighth day of the eighth day when Li Mo went to Wang's grandmother's house for dinner, Xinghua seemed a little angry, so she didn't pay much attention to Li Mo.

After the meal, Li Mo took the opportunity to discuss with Grandma Wang about going back to start a business. The New Year was basically over, and she couldn't stay at Grandma Wang's house for dinner.

"Grandma, it's the eighth day of the new year. I think the new year is over. I'll go back and start my own business."

After talking about several aunts, they all came over. Although Li Mo brought some food, the ones that were eaten were not a few. You can't stay until the Lantern Festival before going back to start the party.

Seeing a few daughter-in-laws like this, Grandma Wang is not so good to keep Li Mo. In the family relationship between troublesome women, Li Mo can't let Li Mo offend all his daughter-in-laws.

Wang Ailan nodded and said: "Okay, I won't persuade you much. But you are coming over for a meal during the Lantern Festival."

Seeing that Wang Ailan said that several aunts breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Mo is good to their children, they are also happy to make good friends with Li Mo.

Usually they can be generous to Li Mo, but they are still a little unhappy to eat here for nearly a month during the Chinese New Year.

After finishing talking here, Li Mo went to find Xinghua and went to the door of Xinghua's room and knocked on the door.

"come in."

Li Mo opened the door and walked in, only to hear Xinghua complain: "Momo, why didn't you speak for me yesterday?"

"Yesterday my grandma didn't ask me for advice. Besides, how could I interrupt my grandfather's anger."

"That's the same, hey, what should I do."

"Don't think too much, don't you think we can't afford bicycles. Sister-in-law has a bicycle and you should agree to borrow it."

Xinghua said in frustration: "Did you know from the beginning that I must not be able to buy a bicycle, and you didn't persuade me, now Grandpa is scolding me."

Li Mo really has a headache, Xinghua's temper! The pot just threw it over her. If it weren't for Xinghua, although she likes to push mistakes on others, fortunately, she listened to explanations. Otherwise Li Mo would not play with her anyway.

"I told you that Niu would not agree to it. You insist on trying. What if Niu agrees again?"

"You said. Oh, okay. It's all myself. Now I can't do anything. I can only borrow my sister-in-law's car."

After explaining it, Li Mo was ready to leave. There was no business at home, and the kitchen was covered with dust.

"Xinghua, I'm leaving first. The kitchen at home is all gray and I have to bother."

Xinghua said without interest: "Then I'll go with you, I'm getting bored at home."

The stove at Li Mo's house was okay. Every day he came back to boil water, heated the kang, and the cupboards and dishes were dusted with ashes.

Apricot Hua worked very neatly, and together with Li Mo, they cleaned the kitchen in an hour.

Li Mo glanced at the corner of the wall. There was no coal. He didn't dare to use the coal he had changed before. He wouldn't use the coal stove as a last resort.

Especially after moving here, some coal was used for the autumn harvest. After making a pot of porridge every day, I immediately put out the fire, but the coal is still gone.

Li Mo didn't know how to get coal. She was really scared when she went to the city to dump things. Nowadays, she has no worries about food and drink, and she has a lot of money. She doesn't want to speculate.

Worry! Li Mo shook his head and put the matter aside for now, let's talk about it later.

"After the apricot blossoms are cleaned, let's go to the main room and sit down and get you some food."

"You haven't been eaten by Chuanzi?"

"They made a lot of food for New Year's greetings, and they all put them in the first cabinet on the kang. I have not finished eating them. The cabinet in the middle is something I put in to eat. You can see what you eat and take it yourself."

"There is actually a lock, you are really used to them. Li Mo, you eat a lot of sugar, dried sweet potatoes, melon seeds, fried soybeans, and glutinous rice noodles. There are glutinous rice noodles, I will eat this."

Li Mo didn't speak, sitting on the kang himself, and poured a glass of water by himself.

"You ate yourself at home at noon? Can I eat here? Grandpa is so bad-tempered that he doesn't want to go back."

"Then you can eat here, grandma knows you are back with me."

"Momo, you are so kind, I'll cook for you."

Because it is winter, Li Mo's staple food is sweet potato porridge with some white rice, just like the villagers. Today, Xinghua was frying two poached eggs and made a stir-fried pork with cabbage. A few thin slices of meat are also very fragrant when you put them in.

Xinghua helped the two of them prepare the meal quickly, and someone knocked on the door during the meal.

Xinghua was eating happily. Suddenly hearing the knock on the door was a little annoying, she said: "Who is this, knock on the door at noon. It's not grandma who came to call me home, right?"

"It's not grandma, I'll go see you continue to eat."

The door was knocking all the time, and everyone was annoyed to hear it. Li Mo replied and came right away, the knock on the door outside only weakened.

Opened the door and found that a few female educated youths were here, Li Mo didn't know why this group of people were here at noon.

Li Mo didn't invite them in, and asked directly at the door: "Why are you here, what's the matter?"

Chen Dan said: "That Li Mo, we have something to do with you, go in and talk?"

Since Chen Dan said so, Li Mo couldn't refuse. To be honest, Li Mo still has feelings for Chen Dan. After all, when they first came, everyone played together and helped each other.

A large group of people followed in, and Li Mo said, "Come in and sit down. I'll eat first and then talk about it?"

Can it work? This group of people are waiting to borrow food. Seeing Li Mo and Xinghua's sweetness, they were a little bit agitated in their hearts.

There is not much food for the educated youths, and they dare not eat more of the 100 catties of sweet potatoes that they are allocated. Fortunately, there are some gains in the private plot.

Although this was still not enough, they didn't take care of their own land. They shirk each other one by one. In the end, the food didn't grow well.

After Li Mo finished his meal, Xinghua consciously went to clean up the dishes. It's definitely not a good thing for so many people to come to Li Mo, she has to wash these three bowls quickly before coming to listen.

Li Mo asked straightforwardly: "You don't come to me very often, what's the matter today?"

Because the relationship between Chen Dan and Li Mo is the best among a group of educated youths, Chen Dan said: "Li Mo, we do have something to ask you for help today."

Li Mo looked at Chen Dan without saying a word. Chen Dan knew that borrowing food was really bad these days, but he still bit the bullet and said:

"Li Mo, you also know that we only get a hundred catties of grain for the autumn harvest. Now everyone has less grain, so I want to ask you to borrow some."

Li Mo looked at her with a faint smile and said, "Chen Dan, you also know that I can only get three hundred and sixty catties of grain by myself. I can barely make it to the autumn harvest. If I lend it to you, I will give it to you. Not enough."

Chen Dan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's it. The boys have all gone to Lu Ping's house to borrow food. We want to come to your house and ask."

Li Mo looked around for a week and said to Chen Dan, "Chen Dan, you also know that I don't have a lot of food, but you have been taking care of me when I live in an educated youth spot. Today I can lend you 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes."

Hearing this, the other educated youth winked at Chen Dan. Why are they only lent to Chen Dan.

Chen Dan looked at the educated youth who came with him, and he had no choice but to say: "Can't Li Mo lend them some? Didn't you plant some food on your own land?"

Xinghua finished washing the bowl and came in and said directly: "Momo doesn't have enough food to eat. If you lend you twenty catties, you can let her lend to others. Counting you people, one person borrows one to twenty catties Li Mo herself. Starved to death."

Li Mo did not stop Xinghua. Although she sometimes make people angry, Li Mo particularly likes to protect shortcomings.

Chen Dan was stunned for a while and then said: "I didn't let you borrow twenty catties by yourself, let them lend them a little bit."
